Star Trek : Judgment Rites

(Interplay, 1995)

A sequel to the smash hit 25th Anniversary Star Trek adventure, this game put you in additional missions set during the timeline of the original series (these pretend to be the untold missions of the fourth season, if there was one). Meanwhile, an even bigger plotline unfolds in between missions, involving a master race which may or may not be trying to help you. This game was ported to Macintosh (bravo!), and was upgraded to CD-ROM form as well, with voice acting by all the original cast. The best edition for Trekkies, however, would have to be the collector's edition, with an additional CD that had an exclusive video of the late Gene Roddenberry. Both Gene and Trekkies alike are probably quite proud of this game; one of the last, great 2D adventure games. For this Trekkie, it's even on my list of Top 50 Multimedia Classics.

Rating : Deep Impact.
